New Gun Class/job

Several letters / months back it was all talk about a gunner class. All of a sudden the mention of the ninja class and they stopped talking about the gunner class that was going to be released.

I thought there was a previous mention that it would be released with another job... my presumptions was with rogue/ninja. It just seems all information, hints or talk about this has suddenly ceased.

From what i understand we are getting a whole slew of classes in the expansion.

From what I understand, back in the beginning of 2.0 Yoshi repeatedly mentioned the fact that Musketeer has been highly anticipated by the players.

So, I expect that we will either never, ever see it, or the implementation of it will be worse than that of housing.

Please, look forward to it!

At present there are no more jobs planned till after the expansion. Further, while musketeer has been mentioned many times it's also been in the same thought as, "...not like you expect." Never has there been a date given as to when we can expect musketeer, either. Right now all we can do is wait for an announcement, anything else is theory-crafting.

This is what I'm expecting.

It has already been confirmed that we would get Ninja in 2.4 and then get a new tank and healer in the expansion, one of which would be the gun job.

He mentioned Musketeer because it was promised since 2010 and Thief (now Rogue) because it is a very classic FF class

but housing was implemented just fine. so we will get a gun class that will be just fine :)

just because you don't like something doesn't make it actually bad.

There is already a "gun class guild" in the game. It shares the same building with the Marauder guild in the Coral Tower of Upper Limsa Lominsa. Has been there from 1.0 iirc.

Inside you will find a gun toting guild leader and a bunch of npcs practicing with their guns in the main area and the target practice area of the basement.

Also Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn the leader of the city state wields guns as well.

Yoshi - P: I really like Cecil’s story from Final Fantasy IV, so the Dark Knight. From Final Fantasy Tactics, the Machinist.

From April Live Letter at the Fate Event;
YoshiP saying we’re going to do gun, but it’s not something what everyone is thinking it’s in the plans, it might be earlier than what everyone is expecting. It’s not 2.3 but it’s not too far out. We still got E3 and other events we need to keep good infos.

From Massively E3 Interview;
M:Are we still going to hear about that gun-using class that was hinted at?

Y:We talked about it, and I'm not one to lie to the fans, but it's still a little bit early to talk about it. When I can talk about it, I will.

See while the Machinist uses guns, its neither a heal nor tank role (which apparently was confirmed, I had no idea?).

I honestly don't see how a gun -tank class will work in general to be frank.
